PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello there

Hello!! I’m Cherie!

Welcome to my own little photography wonderland! This year will mark 10 whole years of photographing families and newborns! What can I say, this is truly a dream job that quite literally found me!

I’m a Huntington Beach girl who LOVES the beach!!  I honestly can’t imagine living anywhere else! I’m drawn to nature and the water. Nothing makes me happier than traveling with my family… My dream would be to travel all around the world pursuing photography. 

I Love: everything about motherhood, Starbucks, Sunsets, Travel YouTubers, Traveling, Hiking and Travel excursions like white water rafting!

My photography style is golden light- airy, natural and true to color. The photography world is always changing but I’ve tried to keep my style consistent and natural.

Thinking about Fall and it’s a little bitter sweet. I’m usually scouting new locations for mini sessions right around this time to post next month. This year will be a little different but the goal is quicker turnarounds… no rushing and no stress! Dates will be posted for Half Sessions soon. So if there’s a certain date you want for a full session this year …the calendar is wide open for another 2 weeks!

I’ve added this location for April! It’s easy..close and since I’m trying to accommodate local senior photo requests- I think its a great spot! Something different for those who don’t want the beach. If it doesn’t fill up then I’ll move it to the beach 😬.

Info on flower fields! The main flower field is in full bloom right now(early because of the rain) …I don’t anticipate it being around mid March or April, unfortunately. Just my gut feeling from years of shooting there..so right now it’s available for full portraits sessions, however if there’s enough interest in the next month -I may open it back up as half session options. Or you can always split the full hour with someone.

I know February is pretty soon for photos when most families just did them for the holidays, but if you’re interested in the flowers fields just know, they don’t stay around very long unfortunately!

I can’t believe the little baby I had at the age of 22 🥺 is graduating high school this year! Not only is this Dylan’s senior year but he’s turning 18 in exactly 2 weeks! Beyond proud of you Dylan, we love you so much! Can’t wait for round 2 of these photos in HB at sunset 🤪🙏
